    I haven't used it a lot as yet, but the software was easy to use and install and the product was easy to install. Everything seems to be working fine. The software also is being used for an older, internal DVD/CD writer on my system and works well with that too. The case is thin and required two handed handling.

    I needed an external disk drive to use with my laptop to play some video disks for depositions (I'm a litigator attorney on the road - don't judge) and I've had this a month, four road trips with it slamming around in my back pack with all the chargers and power cords and it works fine. (Win 8.X, Lenovo U360 i-5 laptop, nothing special)

    I have only used this drive a handful of times, but it seems to do the job very well. I only use for playback, not burning. Playback of commercial dvds has been very good. The only difficulty I've had is with figuring out which software I'm supposed to use for playback! Windows 8.X still confuses me...
